If you want to look slimmer or taller, a one-button or pinstripe suit is your best choice.
Art stated that when selecting a suit, body shape is very important. When purchasing a suit, the goal is to get the best fit and look possible. In order to look slimmer or taller, a one-button suit or pinstripe suit is the best option. When purchasing a suit, one needs to figure out what category they fit into to ensure the best suit is purchased. This tip takes the guessing game out of buying a new suit.
If you are tall or thin, a plaid-style suit is your best choice.
Height is just as important as body shape when selecting a suit. No two people will look the same in the same suit. Art said a plaid-style suit will make the wearer stand out. The goal of buying a suit is to look your very best.
Everyone should have a navy pinstriped suit, navy solid suit, charcoal pinstriped suit and charcoal solid suit.
